International REI Productions, Inc. is a trade show and conference company uniquely positioned to take advantage of the fourteen trillion-dollar real estate investment industry and the conference and trade show industry that is projected to rise by over four hundred billion dollars by 2027 in the United States alone. Our high technology productions digitize convention centers into a computer program allowing the attendees to walk through the center in the form of their own avatar. Although our beginning is with real estate investors, we will profit further through the use of our program with associations and other groups to further their experience. Along with our virtual platform, we will also do hybrid trade shows where the virtual and in-person shows are merged, thus bringing about an exciting new experience.
International REI Productions, Inc. is uniquely qualified to succeed due to the following reasons:
· We are the only international virtual and hybrid REI trade show and conference offering in the world.
· We have twenty-four salespeople (associate producers) located strategically in some of the top convention center cities in the United States.
· Our virtual platform draws people into the tradeshow through the use of digitized attendees as avatars and digitized convention centers.
· We have developed systems that enable us to provide high-quality virtual trade shows and conferences at a lower cost. Trade show booths in the events will go for nothing upfront and only ten dollars per visitor with spending caps put on by the exhibitors.
· We currently have eleven real estate investor organizations as sponsors with membership numbers of over eight million real estate investors who have an average net worth of four and one-half million dollars.
· We currently have an acquired (not purchased) email list of over 1,210,000 emails of real estate investors.
· We currently have contracts with eighteen speakers and contact with over 230 more speakers for our events.
· We are currently in communication with eighty-four potential exhibitors who have responded to our marketing emails.
Our forecasted fifth-year revenue is $151,000,000 with anticipated profits of $88,000,000
